Steering wheel
 

Its important what you sit behind and the streering wheel on the wagon is pretty dreadful. What are the options, ie, will a newage sti wheel fit?, It does have an air bag. I remember ron saying something about the previous owner fitting a nardi wheel with no airbag but there was an issue with the air bag light.

Your car did have an STI8 wheel fitted for a while (same as mine, now Tim's). My airbag light went out fine because it's a later UK model. They took the steering wheel off cos they could not get the light to go out. I understand the wiring is different? Stuart from EastSussexMobile will be able to advise. He fitted mine/Tim's.

Sorry Tim! In a time warp for this enquiry. (I have changed my avatar though!!)

:smile:

If you like the idea of fitting a nardi why not have a bash at doin the resister mod that morster posted in the diy section should work the same? gana have a bash myself when i get my omp drift wheel,

I fancy an Sti 8 wheel after sitting in Keith's/ron's/tims wagon! Lol

The wheels in the version 5's etc are nice but a tad big IMO.

Yep, ideally that's what I want.

Ive a Hawk sti wheel to go into mine...at some point. Only issue I see is air bag plug/socket doesn't match, so needs a few alterations.

I gave the old wheel to Keith as a spare but it didn't have the centre in it (I believe Stuart at ESMS has the centre) but you'd have to do something with the airbag light staying on. It had something missing and could not be adapted to work! doing the resistor mod would work I guess.

I was easier at the time to just swap the wheels over with whats in there now, so it would go through an M.O.T. ok

That sounds like a wicked idea!

Straight swap AFAIK, just need to move the connector across with it.

mmm... so the airbag light needs to be out for MOT purposes then?. Otherwise it wouldn't worry me that its on, nothing a bit of black tape wouldn't sort!.

OK, will look into it a bit further I think.

Don't think that will work, they need to see the light come on then go off iirc

Yes mate, sorry, I wasn't very clear. It wouldn't worry me if it was on but guess it would worry MOT tester!.

Anyone know of a How-to for this? I need to swap connectors

If the airbag/srs light does not illuminate at all then its an advisory not a fail !!

As the light does not indicate a fault.

There's an sti 8 wheel for sale on snet
